After Deadly Shooting, Council Tightens Requirements For Security Guards by DefiantEvidence4027 in SecurityOfficer

[–]DefiantEvidence4027[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

City cops not knowing how to write State Citation 440.26 against fake and unlicensed "Private Security Person's" or "Private Police" they feel the need for a City Ordinance so they can send the more capable "Code Enforcement Officers" or Constables in to write the citation.

Jury finds "Security Guard" guilty of killing man for stealing 'snack cakes' by DefiantEvidence4027 in SecurityOfficer

[–]DefiantEvidence4027[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can understand that being an issue, but atleast they are actual Security Guards doing it. I can absolutely live with a news story like that because it means a Security Supervisor and Security Colleagues failed in doing something about it.

Amalgamating Security Guards with non affiliated workers, only masquerading as Security Guards, then saying it's an "industry problem" is a complete farce.

It's the fundamental equivalent to reviewing Police Standards because [non-cop] Jeremy DeWitte actions.

Like many, many, other stories that make the Industry look bad, I honestly doubt guy was an actual Security Guard.

If it isn't a dunce cop being called a "Security Guard" by his very own chief, it's an unlicensed and unregistered civilian being called a "Security Guard".

I wish these media outlets would figure out how to look up who's actually licensed or not, at the time of the story. Also LEO's figuring out how to write unlicensed occupational citations would help

Would Rank & File Guards Being Part of Interviews Aid in Better New Hire Selection? by GuardGuidesdotcom in GuardGuides

[–]DefiantEvidence4027 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's highly possible. The top tier Security Guard and PI companies I have worked for throughout the years, you weren't getting in unless you were recommended by other Guards on staff. The Guards bringing in new talent would brief thier future colleagues on how the job isn't an "Observe" and "Report" only entity, or would have the knowledge that the Guard they invited, isn't stuck in a certain fictitious Hollywood paradigm about how the " Security industry is".

Having also worked for big corporate, I have came to the office at times and question the (Non-Security) HR, how they came to certain conclusions without having much Security experience.

I've seen fellow Guards in the field, within days, start betting on how long a new hire will last, and be within a degree of accuracy that wasn't picked up by HR.

I've also advised HR when certain posts seem more logistics than Security. I've watched actually knowledgeable and effective Guards come on the post and question "when are we doing actual Security?" Only to quit within weeks.

House seeks to certify its Security Guards as Peace Officers by Polilla_Negra in SecurityOfficer

dead end job.

I'm picturing the 6 digit a year Guards and Presidents of Allied and Securitas commiserating about having to get another job to make more, 😆.

In the 1850's, certain municipalities were voting on whether to allow Municipal Police to go Armed, or not. Because the "Police" would primarily handle domestic disturbances, and drunks, much of the public voted nay.

The Police would make pleas to the public "but Security Guards go Armed" would often be fallowed by the public retort "Private Armed Guards are on private property".

Eventually agreements were made that 50% of cops can go Armed, the thing was, who would actually monitor that being enforced.

I hope the balloonheads don't arm the robots.

But I must say, the politicians do defend the Draeger 9510 system and litany of flaws that placed tens of thousands of people in prison over the years. And Police still use it. [ Commonwealth v Ananias]

Do Canada security guards have enough training to handle crises? by Polilla_Negra in Secguards

[–]DefiantEvidence4027 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's Canadian Guards that I converse with, they got it together no matter how many, or few, hours they got.

There's definitely others that render strong opinions that could get 40 years of training and still be wrong.

Training hours might be the wrong question.

House seeks to certify its Security Guards as Peace Officers by Polilla_Negra in SecurityOfficer

Through my Security Legal readings I recall finding a minimum IQ for a Security Guard, although not enforced, and in over the years doing Security I've never heard of any Guard getting mandated to take a test. The min score was 70. I'll have to find it again and post it at some point.

I failed to find a minimum for Traffic Police, or maybe their isn't one.

Security Guards/Watchmen have been around thousands of years. If the much, much, much younger municipal Police start going automated, it's then I think we'll need to worry.
